Steve,
:>
:> It sounds good, but wouldn't it be better to formalize
:> certain aspects of the structure of the WWW VL pages so
:> that the information could be derived directly from them
:> without creating another html document?
:>
Fine!
:> E.g.:
:>
:> 1. put the description of the WWW VL document either
:> at some standard location in the document or a link to it
:> from a standard spot in the document, perhaps with a
:> specially labelled tag;
:>
I suggest we put in our documents, just after the introduction,
this:
<!-- desc -->
Here I describe what this field stands for
<!-- end_desc -->
:> 2. standardize the format for listing of sub-fields (I
:> have already streamlined their listing on the WWW VL
:> Engineering page);
:>
Just after this description, I suggest we introduce the new field
"What's new"
Then, we start the information by
<!-- new -->
and end it with <!-- end_new -->
Then, we have the field
"Virtual Library Specialized fields"
Here, we reference all the specialized fields that are conformant
with the virtual library standards, as defined in
http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/DataSources/bySubject/Administration.html
We start the list by
<!-- fields -->
and end it with <!-- end_fields -->
then, the field
"Other specialized connections"
Here, we reference all other specialized fields
Then, we start our document.
:> 3. standardize the link from a WWW VL page to the page of
:> maintainers of the sub-fields of that page, and standardize
:> the formats of the sub-field maintainers' personal pages
:> that are pointed to (at least to the extent that it is easy
:> to pull their email addresses out) -- could just have a
:> specially labelled tag that everyone puts on their email
:> address, e.g.
:>
All right, let us refer to the page of maintainers of the sub-fields
in the section "Virtual Library Specialized fields":
at the end of it, we could have an anchor like
"(to <A HREF="...">mail the maintainers</A>)"
Email addresses of the sub-maintainers should be enclosed with
<!-- email --> and <!-- end_email --> in their personnal page
:> Always trying to be as lazy as possible! ;-)
:>
True, so let's just give an example: Have a look at
http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/DataSources/bySubject/Examples/Physics.html
If you all agree, I'll modify .../Administration.html accordingly
Regards,
Arthur
